I’m engraving anodized aluminum cylinders using an Omni X 6W UV laser with a Commarker 3200-step rotary (mounted on a custom alignment rig).
To both increase engraving speed and reduce wobble when the rotary has to move larger distances, I tried engraving the design in groups while using lower acceleration speeds. Each group is about 3 mm wide on a 123.3 mm diameter cylinder, so the resulting height offset should be negligible.
However, I’m struggling to find the correct configuration to make the machine engrave sequentially from left to right. I’ve experimented with settings in Device Settings, Rotary Settings and Optimization Settings, but I haven’t been able to achieve the expected engraving order.
For clarity, I removed the groups and uploaded the file I’m working with.
Any suggestions on which settings control the engraving order or how to properly configure this setup would be greatly appreciated.
